Chapter 1363 Thin Blue Line

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The calls of the princes woke up Shang Yuan.  "What should we do?"

    Yes, what should we do Shang Yuan tasted a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth.  The opponent's warships are much larger than our own, and the worst thing is that they have too many guns.

    Although our own side has many ships, it has surprisingly few cannons.

    Ryukyu does not produce iron and all ironware is imported, so the price of ironware is ten times that of the Ming Dynasty.  Those unscrupulous Franji merchants even sold inferior large iron cannons at sky-high prices.

    The Ryukyu Kingdom gritted its teeth and bought a few gates, but they were only installed on the forts and towers for defense, and there were no gates on the ship at all.  Secondly, it is more expensive, mainly because firstly, the structure of the galley is limited, and gun positions can only be set up on the bow; secondly, due to the lack of iron, Ryukyu mainly uses wooden nails and mortise and tenon structures to build ships, and rarely uses iron.  It was reinforced with nails and curiums, so the hull could hardly withstand the shock force caused by the cannon.

    Therefore, there are only a dozen Daihatsu on the fifty ships, plus dozens of Folangji, which is the entire firepower of the Ryukyu Navy.

    Just now Shang Yuan counted the numbers and found that the three largest sailboats of Fang Guang had more gun emplacements on one side than this number

    The disparity in firepower is too great. How strong does he have to be to hit him head-on?

    "Your Majesty, I am willing to personally lead half of the warships to disperse them and clear the way for the three mountains to unify the warships!" As the commander of the navy, Xie Liting had to bite the bullet and express his position: "Fifty versus thirty-three, the advantage is mine.  ¡­¡±

    As if to dispel his luck, the fleet on the opposite side suddenly launched a salvo.

    This round of salvo was actually used to correct the shooting, but in the earth-shattering rumbling sound of the artillery, the water column on the sea rose into the sky like a jade forest, and then turned into a burst of heavy rain and fell.

    It also wiped out the fighting spirit of the Ryukyu Navy officers and soldiers.

    "" Xie Liting also turned pale, and no longer dared to say anything showy.

    "Your Majesty, it's better to retreat to the shore first. It's too dangerous at sea!" Ma Deshun suddenly said: "I think there are no more than a thousand people on the shore. We have three thousand royal soldiers and blunderbuss, which is enough to repel them."

    "Well" King Shang Yuan frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded with difficulty.  The Ma Qing family was right. It was too dangerous at sea. Under the fierce fire from the other side, life and death were really at stake.

    Ma Deshun immediately asked Xie Liting to sail the warships carrying Zuofu soldiers and Youfu soldiers to the north and south ends of the dock separately, so that the enemies on the shore could focus on one thing and miss the other.

    "Row to the shore!" The orders came one after another, being passed on to each boat.

    Not to mention, a rowing boat is more flexible than a sailing ship and is less susceptible to wind and waves.  Soon, one after another Ryukyu warships drew white tracks on the sea, turning their bows and sailing towards the shore.

    "Captain, they are fleeing to the shore!" On the 102 ship, the deputy captain Xiao Ya put down his telescope and shouted anxiously to Haldi.

    "Don't be so loud, I saw it." Haldi looked at the turning Ryukyu fleet expressionlessly, but did not give any orders.

    "Aren't we going to chase him?" Xiao Ya asked anxiously.

    "There are marines on the shore, why are you anxious?" Heerdi said calmly.

    "That's why I'm anxious." Xiao Ya whispered: "It's easy to wait until a battle, and the limelight will be stolen by them."

    "Hahaha, don't worry, there will be a lot of fighting this time, I will beat you up." Haldi then smiled slightly and said: "Let the Marines take the limelight this time."

    He knew well that by arranging the battle line in this way, he could also unify his orders.  But once the order is given to march, each ship can only fight on its own.  The captains are all like Xiao Ya, like the wives of Jiu Kuang.  Who can stop a chaotic fight?  If someone accidentally kills the King of Zhongshan with a cannon, it will be a lot of fun

    So let¡¯s let the Marines use their Takakei style to teach the disobedient Ryukyu people a lesson.

    ??~~

    On the shore, Taketatsu stepped on the big stone with one foot and stared at the Ryukyu warship turning back with a happy face.

    "Old Pan, they are going to surround us from both ends of the pier." Then he happily turned back to the police commissioner in charge and said: "Let's put them ashore first to prevent them from firing from the ship."

    "Well, let's line up and shoot them. Of course, we will wait until they line up before shooting them." Pan Jinlian, the police commissioner of the Marine Corps 1, was a clean-skinned police officer. It was said that he had passed the boy student examination.  Although they have a small problem with dropping their book bags, the two of them work well together.

    "It was confirmed during the reconnaissance that the big ship can only get closer to the shore for a hundred meters." Ximen Qing came up and said: "The largest firearm on the ship is Dafa Gong, with a range of five hundred meters."

    ¡°Well, then we¡¯ll line up four hundred meters from the shore.The purpose of the practice is to carve each step into the players' muscles and turn it into a completely subconscious movement.  In this way, no matter what situation you face on the battlefield, your movements will not be deformed, and your loading will not make mistakes or slow down.  This is the guarantee of the firepower output of queuing and shooting.

    But Pan Jinlian did not immediately give the order to shoot. Instead, he watched the Ryukyu soldiers, who were several times his own, approaching 300 meters or 200 meters

    The Ryukyu people on the opposite side even started shooting with the muskets in their hands. Although most of the bullets flew nowhere, a few projectiles hit the Marines in the front row. The Marines groaned and fell down, and were immediately killed.  The medical staff pulled him away.

    Pan Jinlian remained indifferent, and the Coast Guard members remained motionless.

    Until the distance between the two sides reached a hundred meters, he solemnly ordered: "Aim!"

    The Marines raised the Longqing style in their hands. The front row was in a kneeling position and the back row was in a standing position. The muzzles of their guns were like a forest, pointing at the enemy soldiers close at hand, and then they cocked the hammers.

    Seeing that the enemy was approaching 90 meters, 80 meters, and 70 meters, the whistle for the shooting finally sounded.

    Immediately, gunshots rang out like firecrackers, like mowing grass, and the Ryukyu soldiers who were rushing ahead fell in large numbers.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
